Progress on Earthdancer.

I finished the corner, put the feather she is holding - I have to rip out. I guess I don't know how to count. LOL!

Glazed Fruit Bowl

This is recipe is great for church, family, pot luck gatherings. Or sometimes I freeze small portions in the freezer and refrigerate what I think will last a few days.

Glazed Fruit Bowl

2 cans (20 oz) unsweetened pineapple chucks

2 pkg (3 oz) cook & serve vanilla pudding mix

2 1/2 C orange juice

1 small cantaloupe, cubed

1 Honeydew, cubed

2 C fresh strawberries, halved

2 C fresh blueberries

2 C seedless grapes

2 med. bananas, sliced

Drain pineapple, reserving 1 C juice; set aside.

In saucepan, combine pudding mix, pineapple juice & orange juice.

Cook & stir over med heat, until mixture boils & thickens.

Remove from heat; cool.

In very large bowl, combine pineapple, melons, berries, grapes & bananas.

Drizzle with pudding mixture.

Refrigerate until serving.

It doesn't have honeydew in it, because the honeydew they had at the store, wasn't ripe. I had to make two trips to get a good cantaloupe. Bob bought the first one, when he brought it home I asked him if he knew how to pick out a ripe cantaloupe. He said nope. So, I went and bought a ripe one and had him smell it. LOL!

My Mom brought over some material, a few weeks ago and asked me to make her some pillow shames.

Dara and I have two baby showers to go to today, so we are splitting up she will be attending one and I will go to the other. I made the baby blankets for the showers and one for an on-line friend.

Bubbles (Dylan's cat) had to give his seal of approval.

Kayden is 10 months old today!

Any time I sing "Lean on me" the song that is playing. Kayden will sing (noise) with me. It is too cute. There are a lot of other songs I sing to him, but this is the only song he sings with me.

This picture was taken earlier this week. The little rocker he is standing behind is mine. My Dad brought it home when I was close to Kayden's age.

Other things going on last week...

Spring is here and we have had a few good days of really nice weather. I raked the whole yard! We even cooked out on the grill last night.

Trying to find a babysitter for Kayden. We have found a young college girl that use to nanny in Michigan, until she moved here. She has come over three times so far. I haven't left her alone with Kayden yet. Kayden is use to having me or Dara around him all the time, (mostly me). So, I want Kayden and Gracie to get to know each other before I leave them alone. So, far they are getting along really good. Except for when he gets tired, then he just wants me. But he does that when Dara and Brandon are around too.

Cooper barfed on the love set that is in the video, as you can see it wasn't in good shape to start with, but I tried cleaning it 3 times and the smell wouldn't come out. So it is waiting to be picked up by the waste department.

I got my 4 workouts in last week and I have a lot more energy this week, could be alot to do with the weather.

Kids are on spring break this week and the work schedule is starting to take shape. Here is a video tour of the town I live in.

If anyone has any good salad recipes, please send them to me.
